Police found Angel Martinez, 20, bleeding profusely from the head. He was in a state of shock, the officers noted. EMS crews took him to Laredo Medical Center with injuries to his head, face, arms and legs.

Investigators recovered surveillance video from the area. The recording showed a four-door vehicle dragging Martinez and running a stop sign, nearly causing a collision with a vehicle that was approaching the intersection.

Police interviewed Martinez at LMC on July 31. He stated to police that he met the occupants of the suspect vehicle to deliver them 3 grams of marijuana, according to LPD. When he leaned inside the window, a passenger identified as "Gallito" grabbed the marijuana and the driver sped off, according to court documents.
